One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Rochester Mills battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low doses however, the client does not experience being high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
